It's all about the diving board now.

So last week at the pool, Emma decided she was going off the diving board. Something we'd been encouraging her to do all summer since we knew she could swim the distance required to do it. But she wouldn't. Then Monday, there were a lot of friends there, friends who were telling her she could do it and that she was a great swimmer, and apparently she just needed to hear this from them instead of us, because she did it.

Well, if Emma was doing it, Mackenzie wanted to do it too. She needed some practice though. So Michael worked with her, having her jump in off the side and then swim to the end to make sure she could swim far enough to get to the ladder. Once she could, it was her turn to go. This is one determined 3 1/2 year old we have!

About Me

I have my dream job staying home with my children. I'm married to an amazing man. I drink a can of Dr Pepper every day. I like to work out. I'm trying to like running. I read a lot of unimportant books. When I scrapbook with friends I tend to talk more than actually scrapbook. I'm learning to sew. I'm a bit indecisive. And forgetful. I truly love my life.
